摘要：Programming education is considered a primary area aiding the development of computational thinking, an essential 21st century competency. To verify the effects of computer education, we must create well-designed learning environments along with strategies to develop learner�s interests and computational thinking. This study developed a programming education program based on design principles to promote and maintain students� interest in learning; the program�s effects were then verified. The results of our study show that our programming education program positively effects students� interest in learning.
